Nokonoshima: October 15th 2007

We went with a group of people (Kiku, Eunyoung, King, Sam, Steffi, Marc, Pieter, Tuyen, Shin Jung and me) to Nokonoshima, an island in front of Fukuoka city. The weather was fantastic, so we were lucky. We took the bus to the center and then another bus to Noko port to take a boat to Nokonoshima. It was only 400 yen 往復. There are only 800 inhabitants on this island and so there was only one bus and this bus came only once an hour. We also had to wait for the boys who couldn’t come on the boat anymore and had to wait for the next one. So we took pictures because there was really an amazing view on Fukuoka. You could see Fukuoka tower and Yahoo dome and more.

When everybody was together again we waited in line for the bus and started to talk a little. I remember that Steffi got a call from Michael who couldn’t come, it was a video call. (Japan is so cool right) Steffi also started to talk to me and said Pieter is a strange guy. Before when she tried talking to him he only looked at her boobs she told me. hahaha Also Eunyoung started to talk to me and told me what happened with Marc. While we were taking pictures she put her arms out and one arm came against Marc’s thingy. hahaha. Now she felt embarassed around him. funny. The bus came and I sat next to Sam, we talked a little and I really started to like her. She was cute and friendly. The busdriver had to drive up to many hills and it took maybe 20 minutes before we were there. The island was bigger than I thought. The entrance to the flower park was cheaper for students 500 yen, so very cheap. Some people had to go to toilet so me and Sam decided to take tree pictures. Becuz the tree was low I decided to climb in it and so the following picture is the result. ^^

We started following the route and saw a lot of pretty flowers. It was really sooooo pretty. It was also then that Tuyen and Sam found each other. hahahaha There were some cute stores along the way to the climax. ^^ So we arrived at a big open space with a lot of pink flowers called cosmos. I never saw these flowers in my life and I was so amazed. The prettiest flowers I have seen maybe. I was really happy I came that day. I wish I could go back now and check these flowers out again. It was flower heaven. Another great thing is that you had a view on the sea behind the flowers and there was a pad between all the flowers. It was fantastic, breathtaking. The pictures I have from that time are so pretty. I use the third one as my background on my pc.

Then on the other side of the island there was a rabit park, with really sooo many rabits. They were so cute. Only thing left were swings after this and walking back to buy some stuff from the store. This was really a fun day and I became closer to the people who came (not all though ^^).  And now as ending a group picture on the island.
